Suffering from knee pain? Rather than ignore that wincing discomfort until it's unbearable, see if you can ease the ouch with these three simple strengthening exercises from alignment expert Pete Egoscue. You may be surprised to find that the pain you feel in your knee is due to weakness and instability in other areas of the body.
The exercises demonstrated in this video�sitting knee pillow squeezes, supine foot circles and point flexes, and sitting abductor press�build strength and mobility in the lower body, particularly the ankles, calves, and thighs, to better support the joints' movements and thereby eliminate knee pain.

Stretching your quadriceps can ease tension in the knee joints.
1. Stand with feet hip-distance apart.
2. Bend your right knee and hold the top of your right foot with your right hand.
3. Bring your right heel as close as possible to your glutes.
4. Hold for some seconds, and repeat on the left leg.
5. Repeat 5- 10 times per leg

About us

Health Outcome is the first platform for patients to rate and review their treatment experiences and help find treatments that cure.

Although there are 51 million surgeries conducted in the U.S. annually, there is no meaningful data on medical treatments or surgery outcomes available to patients or physicians. We are actively addressing this void of outcome data with a platform built to capture the voice of the patient.
